The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I have learned and grown so much since finding al-anon 2 years ago. I have come out of the land of make believe to the land of reality and accept it as it is. I am making my life what I want it to be, I am not waiting for anyone else to make these changes. I am making the changes I can within myself and life just keeps getting better. I have learned to get out of my own way and I am now free to let my HP take away my worries and stress I can do nothing about. I am learning to be true to myself and it leaves me without all the resentments of old. Living this way in this moment is such a great thing and I wish it for you all working on your own recovery program. The steps, my sponsor, reading al-anon literature and MIP has helped me to grow up and be loving and open to life on lifes terms. I am no longer living in victim mode merely surviving. There is so much more to life and I am reaping the benefits of working my program diligently, with a few slips, but that is a part of being human and it's okay too. I am a survivor of child abuse, molestation, being raised by addicts and was married to an A and I am happy to have been through it and to be where I am now. I know you get out what you put in. I think I might be ready to sponsor someone and am going to be open to the possibilities. Sending everyone love and support on your journey's.

I think Betty hit the nail on the head and maybe ...just maybe your nick needs to be changed to "brokenfree"...hmmmm? Loved the ESH...it should be put before all newbies to read with the others that bring soooo much hope. (((hugs)))
